They not only did give us information on different sand levels‚ they also spoke about natural vegetation and how if they were to be removed the dunes would slowly cease to exist‚ in return leaving the beaches more vulnerable to floods. They also informed us of how different flora affected dunes‚ and how they managed or prevented them from being removed and or destroyed. They didn’t bring up coastal management directly‚ yet when they brought up vegetation they spoke of

Coastal management is managing development along the coast in a sustainable way so that it will not be spoiled for future generations and it is a very important to Australians because over 85% of our current population live within 50km of the coast.

All the human traffic our coastline receives damages the delicate ecosystems that are trying to co-inhabit the area. Foreshore developments such as

entire New Jersey coastline should require the homeowners to rebuild their homes above ground level. These homes should be built on pilings that are anchored deep into the ground with a minimum height requirement of 6 feet above ground level. The sand dunes should be rebuilt on a minimum height scale. This would mean less displacement of sand throughout the

Dear local council‚ After undertaking my investigation in the effectiveness of current coastal management strategies at Collaroy Beach and Long Reef I have come to a few conclusions which will sustain the beach for many years to come. Whilst acknowledging the strategies in place‚ I graded their effectiveness and considered the human and environmental impacts. I investigated the issue concerning coastal erosion by doing some firsthand work at Collaroy Beach and Long Reef and by some secondary research

This factor overall can be very positive; predator control (although it is preventing the climax community forming) allows rare ecosystems such as heather moorland to thrive and through stabilising the sand dunes vegetation is allowed to reach climatic climax continuing to Oak Woodland‚ this occurs in Ainsdale upon
